  1. fs 1985 F250

    Didn't think I was going to sell this but looking to see what anyone would offer. It has a 351w which currently needs rebuilt. Spun a bearing. 600 edelbrock t34 trans borg warner 1345 t-case dana 44 front end not sure on the rear end new front wheel bearings 6 inch lift on 37 12.5 16.5 clean...
  2. 351W

    Yeah I started poking around for a engine out of the junkyard to get it going for now and none of them have a windsor to put in it and that is what I want to stick with. I still have time until taxes come in so I have time to shop around. But at least now as of today I am not completely out on...
  3. 351W

    What can I get for it in as is condition? Not really sure barely what I paid for it probably. Any personal attachment?? I think I have more of a personal attachment to the fact that I have a pickup more than the brand that it is. I use my pickup regardless of make to obtain extra money on the...
  4. 351W

    Valve spring not broken. But I don't have to worry about collapsed lifters stuck valves or any of that anymore. That's right folks spun a bearing smoked the engine almost got left in the middle of the road, will be surprised to get it started enough to pull it in the shop when I get an engine if...
  5. 351W

    I'll have to check the height out tonight and be sure. It was late when I had the valve cover off the other night. I'll let you know on that one.
  6. 351W

    Nice pic of that valve spring. I have not seen that in a long time.
  7. 351W

    I looked at it, it does not look broken to me. Collapsed maybe but I am thinking unlikely in my opinion but possible. I either need to somehow make it work until I get my extra money next month or just leave it parked. That's why I was thinking about disabling that cylinder for now of course not...
  8. 351W

    No the valve spring is not broken. But I would not put it past my truck for that to happen though. I am kinda going with BuzzGun in thinking of the collapsed lifter because if the valve was stuck the pushrod would eventually bend due to the rocker not moving. The pushrods are not bent. Next...
  9. 351W

    Flareside the thing that surprises me with my truck is it was working perfect for quite some time until poof one day it started running like crap and I thought I had gotten some bad gas since it started a day or two after filling up one day. So I was troubleshooting that until I found this valve...
  10. 351W

    I wouldn't be surprised if it is a lifter collasped. Unfortunatly for me at this point I don't even have the funds to swap them even for as cheap as what they are. I think I am going to see how it acts when I remove the pushrods for the bad cylinder that way there is no more squealing and valve...
  11. 351W

    I already know what cylinder it is. I pulled the valve cover and found a loose rocker arm on the exhaust valve. With the valve cover off I had a friend watch the rocker arm movment will I bumped the starter and found that one exhaust valve not moving while all the others were moving. I did pull...
  12. 351W

    Yeah I checked out the website I would buy an engine from them but don't have that kind of money right now. Gotta wait until tax return. I just need to make it work better than it is until I get that money which won't until over a month from now. Any ideas on stuck valves without removing the...
  13. 351W

    Plan of attack was to just swap the heads for now with the exsiting block in the truck but I am worried about when I do that the increased pressure in the engine with rebuilt heads and new gaskets may cause problems somewhere else. Maybe?? That's why I was thinking whole engine. But either way I...
  14. 351W

    Looking to get a hold of a 351W rebuilder if anyone has one. I have some stuck valves on my 1985 and I think I would like to build a engine for it instead of just doing the heads. Any help would be appreciated.
